Kasema Bibi @ Kasema Khatun v. State Of West Bengal

22.04.2025 Court No.28 Item No.93 ssi CRM (A) 1317 of 2025 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Suraksha Nagarik Sanhita in connection with Mahisadal P.S. Case No.34 of 2025 dated 21.01.2025 under Sections 109/115(2)/117(2)/126(2)/351(2)/74/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.

And In the matter of: Kasema Bibi @ Kasema Khatun & others. ....Applicants/Petitioners.

Mr. Shraman Sarkar ...for the petitioners.

Mr. Arindam Sen Ms. Suveni Banerjee ...for the State Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits as follows. There was a scuffle between two groups of neighbours. Injuries were inflicted on both sides. The present one is a counter blast to the case earlier started from the petitioners' side. Learned counsel for the State relies on the statements, eyewitnesses and the injury reports. However, it does not appear the injuries inflicted were grievous in nature. Charge sheet has been submitted.

In view of the nature of allegations, the fact that there are case and counter case and considering the fact that charge sheet has already been submitted, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

In view thereof, the prayer for anticipatory bail is allowed. In the event of arrest, the petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- each with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and also be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482(2) of the BNSS, 2023 and on further conditions that the petitioner shall not try to influence the witnesses or threaten them.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
